Louisiana families stand to benefit enormously from the new Federal Education Scholarship Tax Credit Program, but only if Governor Jeff Landry chooses to opt the state in. This program, passed as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, allows students to receive scholarship support at no cost to the state. All funding comes from voluntary federal-level tax credit donations, meaning there are no new state mandates and no impact on Louisiana’s budget. By opting in, Louisiana could expand educational opportunities for working- and middle-class families, support parents’ rights, and strengthen Christian, private, and public schools statewide. Governor Landry’s leadership has consistently supported parental choice, educational freedom, and strong faith-based schools. This is a chance for Louisiana to continue leading, ensuring that families here have the same opportunities as families in states already opting in.
